[QUOTE="CraigATX, post: 1627351, member: 35834"] Some of ya'll are pretty funny. :) Seriously though, thank you for addressing my question and easing my concerns. I am someone who will overthink things like this, so the reassurance and information really helps. Like I said, I have zero experience with caring for vehicles driven on salty roads. I ended up washing the entire truck after taking care of business earlier in the day. It took me about 8 hours. I washed the bottom of the truck four times to try and cover everything: once with power washer only, then foam cannon and power washer again, then with handheld hose/soap sprayer to reach hard to reach places, and finally used a ryobi water broom to spray the undercarriage. (not that effective) I used a scrub brush to agitate areas where it seemed to have more build up. I still don't think it's as clean as it could be. After everything dried, there appears to be a lot of areas with rust. However, based on the info in this thread, I assume this to be normal. While I was under there, I also noticed a piece of insulation (?) that appears to be loose. Maybe someone on here knows what it is. I'll add a link to a page with pictures below. Rust Example: [ATTACH=full]311606[/ATTACH] The Truck: [ATTACH=full]311607[/ATTACH] All of the rust pics from the undercarriage: [URL]https://imgur.com/a/i1sllfw[/URL] [/QUOTE]
